Caan had agreed to meet Lucifer although he did so with a morose demeanor. Lucy couldn't quite explain it, but she knew he was being odd. Well, being even more odd. He barely spoke a word as Lucy started packing her backpack with the essentials. Working on the watch had seemed to take his complete attention for the past couple days now, and Lucy didn't even know what he was doing to it. Every time she peeked at the watch, Caan would stop working on it and hide it from view. Lucy reasoned that even if he broke it she could always make another.

A knock on the door startled Lucy. They were early, which was extremely odd for either of them. Lucy walked to the door, opened it, and ushered them inside while peeking outside to make sure that no one was outside. Satisfied by the lack of onlookers, she closed the door and watched Lucifer's and Mazikeen's expressions. The moment they saw Caan their smug looks were replaced by looks of curiosity and wonder.

"Don't touch him," Lucy warned Lucifer, who had reached out to Caan. "He tends to accidentally disintegrate whatever touches him."

Lucifer gave Lucy a curious look but withdrew his hand. He asked, "What even is 'he'? A killer robot? A trash bin? A robotic, killer trash bin?"

"No, there is an organic life form within the suit, but he feels more comfortable inside the suit. It's what his kind usually wear. Most of it contains things that help keep him alive."

"Interesting. Are the suits normally this… colorful?"

Lucy glared at him but responded evenly, "No, his suit was damaged too much. I had to use pieces and scraps of other Dalek suits and wreckage to rebuild him. I was lucky… I landed in a world with a blacksmith nearby. A dwarf who was more than willing to take the gold pieces in return for helping me put Caan's suit together."

Lucifer smirked and asked, "Like a little person or the fantasy creature?"

"Neither. Both. I don't know. I wasn't really asking many questions other than how to put him together and whether we should."

"Why wouldn't you?" Mazikeen asked with a suspicious glance to Caan.

"I read about his kind in Missy's library. They're 'exterminators' that destroy pretty much everything in their path. They feel nothing but hatred for everything that isn't one of them and want to destroy it. Caan is… odd. I think seeing everything that his species has done changed him. He doesn't like to talk about it, right, Caan?"

Caan said nothing in reply and continued to work on the watch. Lucy shrugged at Lucifer and Mazikeen and continued packing the rest of her things. She assumed that they would leave when they were ready or when Lucy and Caan decided to leave. Either way she needed to get everything ready. It was a long way to the next breach.

"I need to talk to you," Mazikeen said suddenly from her right, causing Lucy to jump a little. "Alone."

Lucy followed Mazikeen's gaze to Lucifer. He was watching Caan mess with the watch, which Caan didn't seem to mind. It was unlikely that Lucifer would understand what he was doing anyway. Lucy turned back to Mazikeen and led her into the bedroom. Leaving the door slightly ajar, Lucy gave Mazikeen with a curious look. These chats never ended well, but D'Artagnan sleeping on the bed as a cat made Lucy more comfortable.

"So… why are you leaving? Not that I care but… wouldn't it be safer here? Lucifer wouldn't let anyone hurt you, and I could take care of your problem. What's after you? Is that why you've got your mirrors on lockdown?"

Lucy sighed and responded wearily, "I don't know what he… it is. I just know that I need to keep moving anyway. Lucifer is your boss, right? And you look after him."

Mazikeen nodded and asked, "So?"

"Well, I have someone who's like Lucifer to me… I mean to you… I'm not making any sense right now," Lucy stopped talking and took a moment to gather herself. "I have someone who I need to protect. Someone… who I love and want to see again. That's why I'm doing all of this world-hopping. I want to get back home. To her. So… I can't, and I won't, stop until I find her. Granted, it might take years, but I need to see her again."

Mazikeen tilted her head at Lucy as though she was thinking it over. She replied with a smirk, "So, that's why you weren't interested in Lucifer or me… you already have someone."

"Uh, what? Interested in what?"

Mazikeen gave her a flirtatious smile and got closer, causing Lucy to panic and take a quick step back to the door. Lucy's face flushed as Mazikeen laughed. She'd noticed that Lucifer and Mazikeen had many lovers, but she'd never considered that she could be viewed as one of them.

"You should be a comedian," Lucy muttered under her breath and opened the door.

Lucifer was giving a confused look to Caan as Lucy entered the room. Caan seemed to be done with the watch now, and Lucy walked over to pick it up.

"So… can I ask what you did to it?" Lucy said as she looked over the watch.

"Yes," Caan replied.

Lucy waited a few seconds for him to explain, and when he didn't, she sighed and asked, "What did you do to it, Caan?"

"I made it useful," Caan replied with a giggle.

Lucifer laughed, and Lucy glared at the both of them. "How? What features did you add?"

"A return. You can go back to any world that's been logged into the system."

Lucy smiled and replied, "Oh, good. So if I end up in too much trouble, I can escape… but you won't go back with me, right?"

"That will not be necessary."

"Oh, that makes sense. If I just log the world into the system before I leave, then I can come back and find you," Lucy responded cheerfully and played with the watch's new settings. "Thank you, Caan. You're a miracle worker."

Caan said nothing in reply, and Lucy noticed that Lucifer gave Caan a concerned look. Before Lucy could ask, Mazikeen walked back into the room with a smirk still on her face.

"I didn't know that you kept a cat," Mazikeen remarked as D'Artagnan followed her out of the room.

"Ugh, really, Lucy?" Lucifer asked and gave D'Artagnan a wary look. "Cats are easily the worst pet. Hold nothing but contempt for the very people who look after them."

"Sounds familiar," Lucy joked, and Lucifer looked offended. "Just kidding. D'Artagnan isn't really a cat."

"Oh, is this an alien piloting a cat suit?"

"Not really. He's a shapeshifter," Lucy explained, and D'Artagnan shifted into a bird as though to prove it. "In all honesty, I don't really know what he is or where he's from, but he's a loyal friend."

"How cute," Mazikeen said, and Lucy glared at her. "Don't give me that look. You might give me ideas." Mazikeen gave her a wink, and Lucy rolled her eyes.

"You can return to Lux when you need to," Lucifer spoke up hesitantly and didn't look Lucy in the eye. "Since you can now return to a world… if things get too… unpleasant, there's always a place for you at Lux. After all, there's always something that needs repairs."

Lucifer looked at her with a small, sad smile, and Lucy walked over. She reached out her hand to him and replied, "Thank you. And yeah, I'm sure that you'll break something by the time I get back. Probably a lot of things."

Lucifer laughed and shook her hand. Mazikeen rolled her eyes when Lucy turned to her, but Lucy continued, "I can't say that it was 'nice' meeting you, but you certainly know how to keep things interesting."

Mazikeen smirked and walked over. She took out a curved knife and placed it into Lucy's hand. She replied, "You too. That's a demon knife. It can even injure angels, so it should be able to injure whatever is messing with you. When you come back, bring me something interesting."

"Thanks, Mazikeen. And I'm sure that I'll find something."

"You can call me Maze," Mazikeen said airily as though it didn't really matter.

"Okay, Maze. Well, Caan and I need to get to the 'heartland.' You guys have fun on your 'vacation.'"

"Don't you worry about that," Lucifer replied with a smirk and shared a mischievous look with Maze. "We have plenty to keep us busy in your absence."

Lucy opened the front door and looked outside to see how many people were outside. Thankfully, everyone seemed to be at some hippie festival or something. Lucy threw a large cardboard box onto Caan, and he wheeled himself outside. An old beaten up truck waited for them outside. Buying and fixing it had been worth the money since Lucy knew how far they had to go. Even with the car it would take time for them to find the next breach. At least they wouldn't need to stop at a motel. Lucy could easily sleep in the truck; she just hoped it wouldn't rain. Caan only had a cardboard box for protection.

Caan flew into the bed of the truck, and Lucy climbed inside. Waving goodbye to Lucifer and Maze, she started the truck. With a roar the engine sprung to life, and Lucy drove off toward the highway. With the windows down, she cruised down the road thinking about what next awaited her.
